Overview
Adaptix is a marketing automation platform centered on Contacts, Companies, Automations, Landing Pages, Forms, and Audience Segments with lifecycle marketing features. Nutshell is a CRM built around People, Companies, Deals, and Activities with native pipeline management, email tracking, and reporting. The structural difference between these platforms means this migration is primarily a Contact and Company record transfer, not a full automation carry-over. We map Adaptix Contacts 1:1 to Nutshell People, Adaptix Companies to Nutshell Organizations, and flag deal-level data that requires manual entry in Nutshell's CRM. Adaptix Automations, Landing Pages, Forms, Audience Segments, and AI optimization data (send-time scores, subject line history) are not migratable as executable logic or active settings; we deliver documentation and reference templates so the customer can rebuild these in Nutshell's workflow tools. SMS consent flags transfer as custom fields on People records for compliance continuity.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Adaptix object lands in Nutshell, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Adaptix
Contact
Nutshell
People
1:1Adaptix Contact records map 1:1 to Nutshell People. Standard fields (first name, last name, email, phone, address) map directly. Custom properties on the Contact record map to Nutshell custom fields on People, which we pre-create during schema design. The contact's lifecycle stage in Adaptix preserves as a custom field hs_lifecycle_stage__c on the Nutshell People record for reference and reporting.
Adaptix
Company
Nutshell
Organization
1:1Adaptix Company records map 1:1 to Nutshell Organization. Company name, domain, industry, employee count, and annual revenue map to the corresponding Nutshell Organization fields. Website from Adaptix becomes the Organization URL and serves as a dedupe key during import. We create Organization records before People records so that the Organization lookup is satisfied at the moment of People insert.
Adaptix
Contact-Company Association
Nutshell
People-Organization Relationship
lossyAdaptix supports Company-to-Contact associations (one Contact can belong to one Company). Nutshell's People records carry a primary Organization field. We extract the Company association from Adaptix and populate the primary Organization reference on each Nutshell People record. Secondary associations do not have a direct Nutshell equivalent and are preserved as a custom field secondary_organization__c if multiple associations exist.
Adaptix
Tag
Nutshell
Tag
1:1Adaptix Tags (used for audience segmentation and contact classification) export as a mapping table of contact-email to tag-name. Nutshell supports Tags on People records. We map tag assignments per contact and import them as Nutshell Tags. If the destination has existing tags, we merge using the tag name as the dedupe key. Tag count and naming convention are preserved.
Adaptix
SMS Contact
Nutshell
People (SMS consent fields)
1:1SMS opt-in status in Adaptix is tied to the Contact record. We flag SMS consent fields explicitly during extraction and map them to Nutshell custom fields on People (sms_opt_in__c as boolean, sms_consent_date__c as date). Consent state affects sending eligibility and compliance in Nutshell, so these fields are mandatory for any team using SMS in Adaptix.
Adaptix
Automation (Reference Template)
Nutshell
Workflow Documentation
lossyAdaptix automation workflows do not export as executable logic. We export each automation as a written reference document capturing the trigger type, conditions, actions, and delays for every step. Nutshell Pro and above support workflow automation, but the customer must rebuild these manually using Nutshell's automation builder. We deliver a step-by-step mapping document organized by automation name to accelerate the rebuild.
Adaptix
Audience Segment
Nutshell
List (Static)
lossyAdaptix Audience Segments are built from filter rules on contact properties. We extract the segment membership (which contacts belong to which segment) as a static contact list. The filter logic itself cannot migrate. In Nutshell, we create a static List per segment containing the extracted contacts. The customer rebuilds the dynamic filter logic in Nutshell using the segment membership as a reference.
Adaptix
Landing Page
Nutshell
Asset Export (HTML)
lossyAdaptix landing pages export as static HTML with embedded form markup, but dynamic connections to Adaptix's form handler, tag assignments, and automation triggers are severed. We package page HTML and form configurations as exported assets. Nutshell does not have a landing page builder; the customer must deploy these assets on a web hosting platform or use a dedicated landing page tool. We flag each affected page during discovery.
Adaptix
Form
Nutshell
Form Definition Export (JSON)
lossyAdaptix Forms export as JSON with field definitions and consent settings. We export the full form schema. Nutshell Web-to-Lead and native forms require separate configuration. The exported JSON serves as a field-level reference for rebuilding forms in Nutshell or a third-party form tool, but the export is documentation only, not an importable form object.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Adaptix gotchas
Audience-based pricing means migration scoping counts every contact
Automation workflows are not exportable as executable logic
AI optimization data is not portable
Landing pages export as HTML but lose dynamic form connections
Nutshell gotchas
Contact tier limits enforced on import
No bulk API endpoint requires paginated extraction
Email sequences not exportable via API
Foundation plan disables key sales features
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and custom field inventory
We audit the Adaptix account to extract all Contact fields, Company fields, custom properties, tags, segment memberships, SMS consent records, and automation definitions. We produce a written inventory listing every standard and custom field with its data type and a sample value. This inventory drives the Nutshell schema design phase. We also ask the customer to identify any deal or opportunity data stored informally in Adaptix as custom properties so we can flag it during scoping.
Nutshell schema setup and custom field creation
We create Nutshell custom fields on People and Organization objects to receive Adaptix custom property values. SMS consent fields, original lifecycle stage fields, and any behavioral tracking fields are pre-created with appropriate data types (boolean, date, text, picklist). Tags are reviewed for naming conflicts against existing Nutshell tags. Organization records are created first so that the primary Organization reference is available when People records are imported.
Contact and Company extraction
We extract Contact records from Adaptix via the platform's list management or API access, producing a normalized CSV with all standard fields and custom properties. Company records extract separately. We deduplicate on email address before export and flag any duplicate handling decisions (first record wins, or customer selects preferred record). Owner mapping resolves Adaptix owner IDs to Nutshell users by email match, with unresolved owners held in a reconciliation queue.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Nutshell trial or sandbox environment using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts, spot-checks 20-30 records against the Adaptix source, and validates that custom property values appear correctly in Nutshell custom fields. Tag assignments, SMS consent flags, and Organization linkages are verified at this stage. Any mapping corrections are documented and applied before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record order: Organizations (from Adaptix Companies), People (from Adaptix Contacts with Organization lookup resolved), Tags (per-contact tag assignments), and SMS consent fields (as custom field updates). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. Any records modified in Adaptix during the migration window are captured in a delta pass before cutover.
Cutover, validation, and automation documentation delivery
We freeze Adaptix writes during cutover, run a final delta migration, then enable Nutshell as the system of record. We deliver the automation reference templates (step-by-step documentation of every Adaptix automation for manual rebuild in Nutshell) and the segment membership lists (static contact lists for each Adaptix Audience Segment). We support a brief hypercare window to resolve post-migration reconciliation issues. Workflow rebuild, form configuration, and landing page redeployment are separate configuration tasks outside migration scope.

Complexity grading
Moderate CRM migration. 2 of 8 objects need a mapping; the rest are 1:1.
Overall complexity
Moderate migration
Derived from compatibility, mapping clarity, API constraints, and data volume across Adaptix and Nutshell.
Object compatibility
2 of 8 objects need a mapping; the rest are 1:1.
Field mapping clarity
Field mapping is derived from defaults — final spec confirmed during the sample migration.
Timeline complexity
8-object category — typical timelines run 2–7 days end-to-end.
API constraints
Adaptix: Adaptix references an API rate limiter in its documentation but does not publish specific thresholds. We assume typical SaaS limits (a few hundred requests per minute per tenant) and tune extraction concurrency against the customer's tier during scoping..
Data volume sensitivity
Adaptix doesn't expose a bulk API — REST + parallelization used for high-volume runs.
